A quote from Guy Gilbert when asked what he would do if he became Pope.I would demolish the Vatican. It is normal for the prestige of Belgium that (King) Albert and (Queen) Paola have a palace but the head of the Church should be content with a small appartment. I love the pontiffs when they are not too sovereign.

A personal friend of Prince Laurent, son of King Albert, he officiated at his wedding. The sermon was written in pen on his hand, which was not edifying when it came to the consecration.

He mocks the Church who made him, just like Luther.

and with our flexible friend, Cardinal Schönborn, well-known for his alleged conservatism.
